Starting to google the seed circle varieties.  So much to look forward to.

Both Märchenengel and Märchenfeuer are Open Source registered variety tomatoes.  Both slightly shorter varieties suitable for large pots as well as outdoors.  They look great, thank you Vetivert.

A few photos.

The c maxima winter squash New Zealand Blue and the Old Timey Cornfield Pumpkin in its beige storage colour, a c moschata winter squash.  The Cressonnette Marocaine lettuce.  Another of Bosnian Yellow bean and of Old Wyandotte tomato. 

Great photos. The Cressonnette Marocaine looks quite a lettuce. Definitely looking forward to that.

That's a great list, MR. You've obviously had a brilliantly busy and successful year.
Sorry about Orange Banana and Anna Russian. They were supposed to be on my list. Copying and pasting went a bit wrong!
And yes please to pink kale.

The Kipfler bean is from Adam Alexander, the seed detective and is green with a big splash of purple.

Pink mystery kale?  Yes please, would like a little pinch.  Thank you MR.  And also great offer, like Vetiver's too.  Is Kipfler the green, the yellow or the green striped version?

Thanks Galina and Vetivert. Some amazing varieties from both of you.

How have you found the growing of cowpeas, Vetivert? You're on the mild (I'm assuming) south coast but of course we're all getting warmer relentlessly. I'll be interested to try them.
